Hockey fans will recognize a Flin Flon Bomber jersey on the main character of the upcoming movie Santa's Slay, to be released in time for Christmas of 2004. Director David Steiman, who has previously worked as the assistant to Brett Ratner (Red Dragon, After the Sunset and the Rush Hour movies, etc.) will be making his writer and directoral debut with Santa's Slay. Santa's Slay is described as a fast pace action/horror film with tongue in cheek comedy. The hero, Nicholas, learns the terrifying truth about ol' St. Nick from his eccentric grandfather. With the help of his love interest, Mary (Mac) Mackenzie, the two become involved in an evil game of cat and mouse with Kris Kringle, while ultimately trying to restore some normalcy to Chirstmas. Bill Goldberg of World Wrestling Entertainment fame will star as Santa. "Santa is actually Satan, who 1,000 years ago lost a curling match to an angel. For a millennia, Satan/Santa had to be a good, giving and jolly fellow. But now the bet, and Santa's good cheer are over as the ruler of hell has a naughty list and he aims to fill it. It will suddenly dawn on police what the once beloved Santa's modus operandi is when the map in their mock station is filled with dozens of coloured tacks indicating crime scenes. As the bodies pile up, they realize the pins on the map are taking on the shape of a Christmas tree, giving authorities a clue as to where the naughty elf will strike next." - www.upcominghorrormovies.com. The movie was shot outside of Edmonton in February and March, and is currently in the postproduction phase. The Bomber jersey will be worn by the hero of the film, Nicholas.
